Hello Anthony,

Thanks very much for your reply.

Yes, I tried this in the routes,py file in the web2py folder on 
Pythonanywhere and tried several other ways from the link you posted but 
nothing changed in the URL.

I think even this should work too, but it doesn't:

routers = dict(
  BASE  = dict(default_application='myapp'),)


I must be missing something.

Joe
